Tile adds definition to deluxe skyscraper

Shaped like a falcon and inspired by Persian tradition, the new 24-story skyscraper contains apartments and a luxury hotel with 270 rooms and suites, which feature ceramic decorations by Fabbrica Marmi e Graniti of the Iris Ceramica Group

“A marvellous story unfolding in every little corner” is Marcel Wanders’ curious description of the Mondrian Doha, a 24-story skyscraper recently added to the skyline of Doha, Qatar’s capital and biggest city. The famous Dutch designer produced all the furnishings and much of the interior decoration, but South West Architecture (SWA) of Doha came up with the plans for the building itself and its cladding, made entirely with materials by Fabbrica Marmi e Graniti (FMG) of the Iris Ceramica Group.

This ambitious hospitality project began in 2011 under the impetus of SBE, the real estate colossal that operates hotels, residences, restaurants and luxury venues all over the world, and operator of the well-known Morgans Hotel Group, which includes the Mondrian Doha.
